  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. If using a pizza stone, heat the stone in the oven for 10 minutes.

  4. Add the onions, cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown.
  5. During the cooking, add water as necessary, 2 tablespoons at a time, to stop the onions from burning and drying out. Be sure that all of the water is absorbed before removing from the heat.
  6. Season the onions with ⅛ teaspoon salt and the ground pepper. (For detailed pictures, see How to: Caramelize Onions). Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside.

  10. Divide the fontina cheese evenly between the naan bread, then top with the caramelized onions, mushrooms and Parmesan cheese.
